STM Investigation of Molecular Architectures of Porphyrinoids on a Ag(111) Surface - Florian Buchner - Bog

, the coordinated metal centers with their vacant axial coordination sites, are well de?ned and uniform. Metalloporphyrinoids are particularly suitable in this respect because they combine a structure forming element-the rigid molecular frame, which often induces long range order-with an active site, the coordinated metal ion.
